"We should have positive expectations of what is in the universe, not fears and dreads. We are made with the realization that we're not Earthbound, and that our acceptance of the universe offers us room to explore and extend outward.” -- Nichelle Nichols

Description
After the return of the USS Voyager from the Delta Quadrant, Starfleet understood that the Intrepid Class Design was well equipped and versatile enough for long range exploration. However much of the technology brought back on the USS Voyager wasn't necessarily adaptable to other Starfleet Vessels. Therefore the Starfleet Corps of Engineers were tasked with coming up with a new design. A brand new Science Cruiser which was capable of holding its own in deep space and had similarities to the Intrepid Class. The result was the Pathfinder Class Starship.
Similar to the Intrepid Class in design and technology, the Pathfinder was an experimental Starship designed for deep space scientific assignment. The ship was also equipped with several new adapted technology including an advanced sensor array designed from the Borg enhancements taken from the USS Voyager.
Also the Pathfinder utilized improved power enhancements which were developed in the Delta Quadrant on the USS Voyager. The Pathfinders Warp Drive was also developed from experimental technologies also found on the USS Voyager, taking the old Class Nine Warp Drive from the Intrepid Class and enhancing it with experimental Slipstream technology allowing for faster speeds and more efficient response times.
The Pathfinder also carrys better phasers which are capable of rapid fire allowing for the Pathfinder to deliver an impressive yet powerful arsenal against any opposition it may encounter.
As a Science cruiser it was not only developed for Scientific Exploration but for Deep Space Missions therefore included several Science Labs and highly advanced Astrometrics facilities.
